Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
